status

The exit status of the invoked shell or process.

Description

call-system-showing-output
is an extension to
call-system
which allows output to be redirected. On Unix/Linux/Mac OS X this means it can be redirected to places other than the shell process from which the LispWorks image was invoked.
call-system-showing-output
therefore allows the user to, for example, invoke a shell command and redirect the output to the current Listener window.
